Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in dorsal spinal cord interneuron anterior axon guidance; negative regulation of transcription, DNA-templated; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within cell population proliferation and gonad development. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human LHX9 (LIM homeobox 9).
